Creating a Profile
The WNA1000 Smart Wizard uses profiles to store all the settings for a particular wireless
network. There are two special profile names: Default and Profile.
•
Default. The profile named Default automatically scans for any available network. You cannot
change this profile name.
•
Profile. If you do not enter a name in the Profile Name field, the name Profile is used to save
your settings. If you do this more than once, you are asked if you want to replace the previous
settings stored in Profile.
You can store multiple profiles and recall the one that matches the network you want to join. If you
use your computer to connect to different wireless networks, you can create a profile for each
wireless network. Then, you can easily load the profile that has all the settings that you need to
join the network you are using at the time. There are two types of wireless network profiles that
you can set up:
•
Access Point (Infrastructure). Connect to an access point or router with the 802.11
infrastructure mode.
•
Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc). Connect directly to another computer with the 802.11
Ad Hoc mode.
